"Student's Manual Of United States History; An Aid To The Library Method Of Instruction" by James Jasper Dofflemyer, offers a glimpse into historical pedagogical approaches around the turn of the 20th century. This manual, designed as a guide for students, outlines a method of instruction centered on library resources. It provides a framework for engaging directly with historical texts and materials, fostering critical thinking and independent learning. This approach encouraged students to actively construct their understanding of the United States' history rather than passively receiving information.
While teaching methods have evolved, this manual provides valuable insight into the educational philosophies and practices of its time. It is a resource for educators, historians of education, and anyone interested in the development of historical instruction in the United States.
